they should make it so that everyone who queued together gets 1 vote total. even if its 4 nerd geared guys and 1 noob who sucks...why not make the 4 guys forced to disband the group instead of the 1 guy getting kicked.


also i agree with stuff like resil gear having 0 item level for dungeon queueing or creating a system where stats are taken into account rather than just item level. however it will never happen since that would require some kind of effort.

Should I even bother describing how moronic this comment is?

Yeah yeah, we know: you could spend an hour describing it, but you won't.

All of this sounds pretty stupid.


I've seen ONE case where 3 people from the same guild booted a competent player to bring in a guildie (which seemed stupid since the boss drops nothing their guildie could use).


I run with 3-4 guildies all the time and if someone sucks, we'll boot them. Getting penalized for booting people who have no business being in heroics is lame.


If they're gonna do something like this, they should ditch PvE item level on PvP gear and track player performance, because if you can't pull 5k dps in a heroic, you have no business being in heroics. Make it so you can't queue for heroics until you've done every instance on regular mode. If you haven't done the instances on regular and are too lazy and stupid to figure things out, you have no business being in heroics.

Ie, it's way too easy for complete idiots who waste a space in a group to get into heroic pugs.


It's not my job (or anybody else's) to babysit failures thru heroics.


They should add in that anybody who gets AFK flagged for x amount of time can be unquestionably kicked. I've been in pug with a "brb" player gone for the rest of an instance and no ability to boot em.

Well, duh. How are you supposed to get geared and experienced in heroics if you don't run the regs?

I'm of the opinion that gear with resilience should have an amount of gear level subtracted from it when it comes to evaluate the gear level for PvE. Idiots with full crap PvP gear doing less DPS than the same class was doing at 80 with non-raid gear in WotLK should not have access to heroics.



Why stop there, lets deduct all stats from the iLevel. Of course which stats that get deducted for which class/spec will be decided here on VN General.


I will start


Deduct all Stamina from everybodys iLevel but a tank spec. After all if you aren't going to get hit why have stamina.



Now you're on Korrigan's level of logic, this should get interesting!

There's a "something leading the something" here..I just can't figure out what it is.

They did this because guild groups dont give a damn about anyone but themselves. So when the tank leaves or get kicked, which happens, because people have zero control, his "friends" dont get a deserter debuff for leaving. Which is what they get now.


Its hilarious to initiate a vote and put a "reasonable" reason, because they read that but they dont read WHO is about to get kicked. Ive kicked players out of guild groups of 3 for such a long time and i just find it too fun. Of course this fix will let the players leave the group without the deserter if i manage to boot the tank.

The abuse of vote kick was bad and getting worse. I am not surprised they made they changes. Like all crisis reactions they probably overshot their target.
